AB  - The aim of the study was to investigate the potency of Cinnamomum camphora cineoliferum and Melaleuca ericifolia essential oils (EOs) against facultative and obligate anaerobes isolated from teeth’ infected root canals. Biocompatibility of the EOs was also in the study focus. Chemical composition of the EOs was determined by GC/MS analysis. Their antibacterial potential and cytotoxicity were evaluated by microdilution and MTT assays, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by Student’s t-test and one way ANOVA. Two the most abundant constituents of C. camphora cineoliferum EO were 1,8-cineole and sabinene, while in M. ericifolia EO the dominant were linalool and 1,8-cineole. MICs achieved against all tested strains were in the ranges 0.95±0.50 - 22.50±0.00 mg/mL and 0.65±0.00 - 23.35±7.80 mg/mL for the C. camphora cioneoliferum and M. ericifolia EOs, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that response to both oils has not differed between facultative and obligate anaerobes. Sensitivity pattern of the tested strains was different for the EOs and the positive control triple antibiotic paste (TAP): while E. faecalis and certain strains of S. salivarius were among the most sensitive to the oils, they were the least susceptible to the conventional antimicrobial TAP. Although the observed cytotoxicity of the EOs after 30 min of cell exposition was high (50.78-66.35% and up to 70% for C. camphora cioneoliferum and M. ericifolia EOs, respectively) it was lower than that of positive control (1.5% NaOCl, p<0.05). To conclude, both EOs showed promising antibacterial potential and achieved at least the same or even better biocompatibility than the conventional intracanal antimicrobials. Obtained results strongly encourage future research with an aim to formulate C. camphora cioneoliferum and M. ericifolia EO- based irrigants and medicaments, that could be used in endodontic practice.

AB  - Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are attractive carriers with recognized potential toenhance oral delivery of poorly soluble high-dosed low-molecular-weight drugs. The formulationof solid oral dosage forms requires the drying of PECs, which may affect their physicochemicaland biopharmaceutical properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of spray-drying on the properties of ibuprofen-loaded chitosan/xanthan gum PECs and to assess the drugrelease kinetics from such PECs filled into hard capsules in comparison with corresponding PECswhich are dried under ambient conditions. The yield, ibuprofen content, entrapment efficiency,and residual moisture content of spray-dried PECs were lower than those of ambient-dried PECs.Better flowability of spray-dried PECs was attributed to the almost spherical particle shape,shown by scanning electron microscopy. DSC and PXRD analysis confirmed the amorphizationof ibuprofen during spray-drying. All the investigated PECs, obtained by drying under ambientconditions as well as by spray-drying, had high rehydration capacity both in 0.1 M hydrochloricacid (pH 1.2) and phosphate buffer pH 7.4. In vitro ibuprofen release from dried PECs wascontrolled during 12 h with the release of approximately 30% of entrapped ibuprofen. Spray-driedPECs provided better control of ibuprofen diffusion from the carrier compared to the ambient-dried ones.

AB  - Escin is an amphiphilic and weakly acidic drug that oral administration may lead to the irritation of gastric mucosa. The entrapment of escin into chitosan (CH)/xanthan gum (XG)-based polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) can facilitate controlled drug release which may be beneficial for the reduction of its side effects. This study aimed to investigate the influence of escin content and drying method on the formation, physicochemical, and controlled, pH-dependent drug release properties of CH/XG-based PECs. Measurements of transmittance, con- ductivity, and rheological characterization confirmed the formation of CH/XG-based PECs with escin entrapped at escin-to-polymers mass ratios 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4. Ambient-dried PECs had higher yield, entrapment efficiency, and escin content in comparison with spray-dried ones. FT-IR spectra confirmed the interactions between CH, XG, and escin, which were stronger in ambient-dried PECs. PXRD and DSC analyses showed the amorphous escin character in all dry PECs, regardless of the drying method. The most promising controlled and pH-dependent in vitro escin release was from the ambient-dried PEC at the escin-to-polymers mass ratio of 1:1. For that reason and due to the highest yield and entrapment efficiency, this carrier has the potential to prevent the irritation of gastric mucosa after oral administration of escin.

AB  - Aim: The objective was to formulate and characterize the nanoemulsion based on Cymbopogon citratus oil, intended for use in infected teeth root canal therapy. The investigation of the antioxidant and antibiofilm potential toward Enterococcus faecalis was aimed as well. Materials & methods: Characterization of oil (by GC/MS analysis) and nanoemulsion (by dynamic light scattering instrument), and determination of antibacterial (by microdilution assay), antibiofilm (by crystal violet assay) and antioxidant properties (by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate and thiobarbituric acid assay methods) were provided. Antibiofilm efficacy of irrigation procedure including nanoemulsion was screened on extracted teeth (by CFU-counting assay). Results: Notable antibacterial and antibiofilm activity, both against forming and preformed biofilms of oil, was observed. Irrigation involved nanoemulsion showed remarkable antibiofilm potential. Both substances induced some antioxidant activity. Conclusion: Results encourage further research with the aim of application of the nanoemulsion in dental practice.

AB  - The study aimed to investigate the potency of Leptospermum petersonii, Eucalyptus citriodora, Pelargonium graveolens, and Pelargonium roseum essential oils (EOs) against Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus salivarius dental isolates. To examine the variation in sensitivity among strains of different origin, isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic root canal infections, as well as the reference, strains S. sanguinis ATCC 10556 and S. salivarius ATCC 9222 were used in the study. EOs were chemically characterised (GC/MS). Their antibacterial and antibiofilm properties were detected by microdilution and CV assay respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by One way ANOVA. Examined bacterial strains, regardless clinical or ATCC, exhibited the highest sensitivity to L. petersonii and E. citriodora EOs (MIC ranged 0.53±0.00 - 5.88±1.27 mg/ml and 0.08±0.03 - 9.37±1.25 mg/ml respectively), while two other EOs were less efficient. Comparison of MIC values showed that sensitivity of the isolates recovered from symptomatic infections was the least, while the susceptibility of asymptomatic isolates and especially of reference strains were higher. EO inhibition of biofilm formation differed between clinical isolates of S. salivarius and their reference strain. Inhibition was higher in the case of S. salivarius ATCC 9222 (84 %-89 %) in comparison to that of clinical isolates (24 %-75 %). Regardless of the strains tested, E. citriodora exhibited the highest antibiofilm potential. To conclude: L. petersonii induced notable antibacterial potential, while E. citriodora EO proved promising antibacterial and antibiofilm activity. Due to the variable sensitivity of the isolates to EOs, it is suggested to screen activity on a large number of strains, especially from symptomatic infections.

AB  - The effect of the entrapment procedure of a poorly water soluble drug (ibuprofen) on physicochemical and drug release performances of chitosan/xanthan polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) was investigated to achieve controlled drug release as the ultimate goal. The formation of PECs for two drug entrapment procedures (before or after the mixing of polymers) at pH 4.6 and 5.6 and three chitosan-to-xanthan mass ratios (1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) was observed by continuous decrease in conductivity during the PECs formation and increased apparent viscosity and hysteresis values. The most extensive crosslinking was observed with ibuprofen added before the PECs formation at pH 4.6 and chitosan-to-xanthan mass ratio 1:1. The PECs prepared at polymers' mass ratios 1:2 and 1:3 had higher yield and drug entrapment efficiency. DSC and FT-IR analysis confirmed ibuprofen entrapment in PECs and the partial disruption of its crystallinity. All ibuprofen release profiles were similar, with 60–70% of drug released after 12 h, mainly by diffusion, but erosion and polymer chain relaxation were also included. Potentially optimal can be considered the PEC prepared at pH 4.6, ibuprofen entrapped before the mixing of polymers at chitosan-to-xanthan mass ratio 1:2, which provided controlled drug release by zero-order kinetics, high yield, and drug entrapment efficiency.

AB  - OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the antibiofilm efficacy of Cymbopogon martinii and Thymus zygis essential oils and to estimate the disruption potential of oil-based endodontic irrigants on the multispecies biofilm formed in the root canals of extracted teeth. DESIGN The essential oils were characterized (GC-MS), while their antibacterial and cytotoxic properties were detected by microdilution and MTT assays. Particles sizes and polydispersity indices were determined for the irrigants. The isolates from root canals of pediatric patients were identified (MALDI-TOF). The multispecies biofilms were formed from Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus sanguinis and Enterococcus faecalis. Antibiofilm properties of the essential oils and irrigants were determined by crystal violet and plate counting assay. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA. RESULTS The screening of biofilm biomass revealed a disruption potential of C. martinii essential oil. The plate counting assay showed the efficacy of both oils in diminishing cell viability: high in biofilms (reduction of log10CFU was 2.75-2.87) and moderate in the planktons formed above. The essential oil-based irrigants showed the same antibiofilm activity as in the control (1.5 % sodium hypochlorite) for C. martini and almost 2-fold higher for T. zygis. Successive irrigations with 1.5 % sodium hypochlorite, saline and an oil-based irrigant was more efficient for C. martini than for the control (reductions of log10CFU was 1.69 and 1.14, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Notable activities achieved by essential oils and oil-based irrigants, particularly regarding C. martini, against the biofilm consisting of S. mitis, S. sanguinis, and E. faecalis, are expected to encourage further research in endodontics.

AB  - Background/Aim: Understanding the composition of bacteria in infected root canals is important for ameliorating the treatment strategies that lead to the elimination of pathogens and infection control, but also prevent reinfection. Aim of this study was to investigate microbial composition of primary infected root canals with apical periodontitis of young permanent teeth, originating form school children in Serbia, and its association with clinical symptoms. Material and Methods: To determine the bacterial composition of infected root canals in children, 35 endodontic samples were obtained. The identification of cultured bacteria was performed by MALDI-TOF MS analysis. The presence or absence of clinical symptoms were recorded. Results: Facultative anaerobes were 2,2 times more frequent than obligate anaerobes. The most common facultative anaerobes belonged to following genera, Streptococcus (58 isolates), Actinomyces (10) and Enterococcus (8), while predominant obligate anaerobes, belonged to genera Veillonella (15), Prevotella (9) and Fusobacterium (8). The most common clinical isolates recovered from infected root canals with symptomatic apical periodontitis were Veillonella parvula (10) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (7), while from the asymptomatic ones, they were Streptococcus mitis/Streptococcus oralis (5). Prevalence of Parvimonas micra, Prevotella buccae and Streptococcus constellatus within the root canals might be associated to clinical symptoms. Conclusions: Species of genera Streptococcus and Veillonella were the most common isolates from primary infected root canals with apical periodontitis in Serbian school children. Facultative anaerobes were predominant over obligate anaerobes. The prevalence of obligate anaerobes was much higher in symptomatic compared to asymptomatic root canal infections. No specific bacterial strain might be associated to a single examined clinical symptom (pain, tenderness to percussion or swelling), but majority of the strains are associated to all of the examined three symptoms.

AB  - This study investigated the combined influence of pH adjusting agent type (hydrochloric, acetic or lactic acid) and initial pH value (3.6, 4.6, and 5.6) on formation of biocompatible chitosan/xanthan polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), their characteristics in solid state and influence on in vitro ibuprofen release kinetics. Conductivity measurements and rheological characterization revealed generally higher extent of ionic interactions in PEC dispersions comprising acetic acid and at pH 3.6. Acid type and pH affected significantly the yield and particle size (100–250 μm) of the dried PECs. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis of the solid PECs confirmed exclusively physical (ionic, hydrogen bonds) interactions between chitosan and xanthan gum. PECs prepared with acetic acid at pH 4.6 and 5.6 had enhanced rehydration ability in phosphate buffer pH 7.2, and at PEC-to-drug mass ratio up to 1:2, enabled extended ibuprofen release from hard capsules during 10 h. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
